The AdderLink AV range of digital signage extenders are designed and built specifically for use wherever high quality video and sound must be faithfully reproduced at distant locations. Mindful of the need for variety and flexibility to suit disparate installations, Adder have created a family of products that can fulfil your current requirements and be easily expanded at any future stage.

Standard AdderLink AV models

There are three different AdderLink AV transmitter and receiver module types available, the choice of each depends upon the quantity and types of devices that need to be driven:

AdderLink AV100 pair

The AdderLink AV100 package provides a single transmitter and single receiver capable of directly supporting two remote display and speaker sets. The transmitter can additionally support a local monitor and speaker set located adjacent to the source system. Expansion is made possible by connecting further AV100 transmitters to the original module, each supporting their own AV100 receiver modules. The AV100 transmitter and

receiver modules are also available separately and are known as the AV100T and AV100R respectively.
